How many workouts have you tried before you found a routine that finally stuck? We’ve all been there. You might remember the days of walking into your neighborhood big box gym and wandering around the various machines with no idea where to start – no direction on what combinations of workout machines will work in your body’s favor. You walk out feeling like you just wasted your time and money – two of life’s most prized possessions.

Key takeaway? Don’t settle on a fitness routine that doesn’t inspire you to change.

At Orangetheory Fitness, we take the guesswork out of exercise, and we also find ways to make your workouts anything but routine. With workout templates changing every day, and fun, engaging benchmark challenges strategically scheduled at different points in each calendar year, there are always new goals to set your mind to. And the only person you’re competing against is you. Constantly switching up the workout not only makes it more fun, but it helps challenge your body in new ways to ensure you never plateau. This day-to-day change will continuously change your body from the inside out. And that’s what will create results!

No matter what you’re looking for in a workout, you’re sure to find it at Orangetheory. We tailor every workout to your unique fitness abilities to ensure you always walk out of our studios feeling successful. But the best part is, you might discover your inner athlete with all of our events throughout the year. Whether you’ve set your sights on an upcoming 5K, are conditioning for a triathlon, or are just ready to up the intensity, every Orangetheory workout provides a foundation for more strength, more energy, and more LIFE.

Participation in the annual fitness events is not mandatory, but they’re a great way to quantify and track personal improvements over time. For example, how you performed during a 200M row in January versus a 200M row in April will be different with consistent attendance at OTF. For those of you looking to challenge yourselves or engage in a little friendly competition, consider participating in these annual (or semi-annual) events. The best part is, if you don’t want to compete, results are tracked via personal improvements in addition to a leaderboard. And again, they are for all fitness levels!

Why You’ll Love It: You have a systemized way of tracking your results each week, as you’re surrounded by a built-in support system cheering you on every step of the way. This helps keep you accountable to build a healthy habit and continue your fast track to more life.

At Orangetheory Fitness, we’re not just a studio with static workout equipment. The coaches, the community vibe, the sweat, the music, and the technology all work together to enhance the experience for you every single day – an experience that’s always changing, an experience that never gets boring. It’s all about what you put into the workout that counts. In case you ever wanted to know, the Experience Development Team spends roughly 30 days and 900+ hours creating, testing, and editing 90+ unique workouts designed to challenge members of all fitness levels across 17 countries and 900+ studios.

When you step through the doors of the Orangetheory Fitness studios in Germantown, TN, get ready for the most effective workout that you will ever experience. Each gym session is energetic, and the classes change up so you will never get bored or plateau.

Each session at Orangetheory is 60 minutes in duration, heart-rate monitored, and broken down into cardiovascular and strength training, including treadmill training, indoor rowing machines, and free weights/ TRX Suspension Training. Our group workouts are backed by the science of excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) and are designed to keep your heart rate within a target range. When your heart rate stays within the target range, your metabolism is stimulated and you will gain more energy. That results in what we then refer to as the Orange Effect: Added energy and calorie burn for 24-36 hours after your workout.

Whether you have a performance based goal or a weight loss related goal, Orangetheory Fitness is the place to get you there. If your goal is weight loss, with proper nutrition you can anticipate to see a loss of approximately 3-5 lbs. per week if you attend 3-5 gym sessions per week. If you have performance related goals, you can expect to see increased gains in your speed, power, and strength after participating in 2-4 sessions per week.

Want an effective full body workout, and to be able to have fun while you do it? Just go online or call our Germantown, Tennessee Orangetheory studio to book your first appointment. Your first session is on us!
